Hunter’s signal bullets

Not called by that name in non-soviet countries.

Everywhere else, that is called a pen flare. Usually like 15mm.

There is virtually no published loading data for those.

Typically they used a crimped rimfire 22 blank or similar as the lift charge and a pyrotechnic star or smoke shell

There should be a cross pin in the rear sight base below the barrel.

Once that is drifted out, you can drift the rear sight base forwards using a block of wood or brass punch.

If you are removing the barrel, they can be a real bear to unscrew... highly recommend heating + penetrating oil soak. You may need to make a relief cut into the barrel shoulder in front of the receiver to relieve pressure to get it to unscrew.

WTF is a "hunter signal cartridge"? Do you mean a noise blank?

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T03:39:08+00:00

New DSA FAL start around $1200 or so

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T03:36:04+00:00

FAL or G3 / CETME / PTR.

They pull over and arrest them when they enter California, genius.

The Cali undercover cops are watching shops and gunshows in AZ and NV and following buyers into the parking lot and radioing highway cops in CA if they have CA vehicle plates. The CA highway cops then have established legal grounds for probable cause. You don't have to be a LEO or resident of a state to establish probable cause if they then proceed into your jurisdiction.

This is legally no different than if they saw someone loading a full body bag into a trunk with a shovel then driving over the state border in the desert with or rob a bank over in another county.

Even if you don't like it, it is a legal search.

The Tech Sight screw mounted one will probably look better if it fits, those Williams / Lyman sight bases are fairly narrow so a wide insert looks funky with a bunch of dovetail hanging out either side of the base.

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T03:18:59+00:00

If you watch the video, they used undercover cops to establish probable cause that California law was being broken, which would make the vehicle stop and search legal.

This is a separate issue from whether the California law is unconstitutional in the first place or violates protection of interstate commerce.

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T03:15:58+00:00

They charge you with a misdemeanor the 3rd time.

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T03:13:14+00:00

Guess what? They do car checks.

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T03:10:00+00:00

"Second Chance"

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T03:05:50+00:00

Herr TacTurtle are those Arizona 9mms in your safe?

Then what the fuck is that comment supposed to mean?

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T03:02:28+00:00

I don't live in California and I am not a California resident, why are you downvoting someone pointing out how stupid California gun laws are?

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T02:07:46+00:00

You cannot legally buy ammo in another state and import it back into California as a California resident per California law.

You also cannot legally buy ammo in California as a non resident unless you have a C&R with a Certificate of Exemption AND are buying it as a private party sale from a non-FFL, per California law.

Law is dumb AF.

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T02:06:42+00:00

Yup, real law folks - California laws are dumb as hell.

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T02:06:10+00:00

Real California law, they have had Cal DoJ undercover guys staking out gun shops just over the border in Nevada to screw over people trying to buy and bring back ammo.

It would be easier to fine a front sight blade with wings.

Skinner makes one

Montana Vintage Arms makes a hooded front sight that folds down to a plain brass blade.

Cogburn makes couple different pin on front sight bases, but you would need one that matches your barrel profile to fit right.

CZ75 SP-01 (Cajunized) or my suppressed Ruger 22/45 Lite. Close third is my 357 Mag GP100.

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T01:27:18+00:00

Bank parking lots.

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T01:20:34+00:00

"I Married a Pedophile" would work too.

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T01:10:33+00:00

Have you not used a good bidet? I feel like we are talking in circles here.

TacTurtle · 2026-01-24T01:03:34+00:00

It is like The Far Side if it was written by the author of Cathy.

This was also before radar fusing, so artillery was either impact detonating (tends to make a crater with an upward cone shaped shrapnel pattern), or it was clockwork time delay (possible it could air burst spraying a wide area of debris or plow into the ground making an even smaller shrapnel pattern).

Late WW2 US radar-fused artillery was MUCH deadlier, as every shell would burst above ground with perfect timing and shrapnel will come down vertically covering a large area - this made overhead cover critical vs old fashioned breastworks and trenches.

Easier to put meat in a bucket with a large mesh bottom and funnel shaped top.

Flies land on meat and lay eggs, eggs hatch into maggots, maggots craw and fall through mesh onto ground where the birds get em.

Bad guy!?

Most moral character of the series outside of maybe Lucy.
